Christy Matthews, and Olbermann Spanked

by RichardFlatts, Sun Sep 07, 2008 at 11:49:40 PM EST

I had such high regard for MSNBC and Keith Olbermann just over a year ago. It was a great network, with great guests. A whos who every night it seemed came on to interviewd on the various shows. More importantly, the subject mattered more than the people.

This election cycle has trashed MSNBC as personal bias, sexism, and unprofessionalism have been the order of the day. Not just among the hosts, but the regular commentators as well.

It is fitting that Olbermann and Matthews get a spanking. I hope that MSNBC can recoer and find its voice. It was just a year ago the most striaght up, down the middle news channel out there. Sure, still coporate, but not as corporate as CNN, and not as far, in the tank for one party as Fox.

Matthews cheerleading, and Olbermann's bias have ruined all that.

CNN = Bias (none / 0)

If it weren't for Jack Cafferty, I'd never watch it.

Sure Keith and Tweety are biased, they freely admit it - unlike others. They are commenting on subjective issues, processes, impressions, interpretations. They are not in the bag regarding policy debates, or lying by omission.

Bad decision by MSNBC, and I hate that tool David Gregory with a passion.

I might be crazy... but are you seeing what I'm seeing?
